Accordingly, they do not include all of the information required by generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) in the United States. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. These unaudited financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Partnership’s audited consolidated financial statements included in its 20212022 Annual Report on Form 10-K. Operating results for the three and six months ended June 30, 20222023 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the twelve-month period ending December 31, 2022.2023.

 

Cash and Cash Equivalents

 

Cash and cash equivalents consist of highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less. The fair market value of cash and cash equivalents approximates their carrying value. Cash balances may at times exceed federal depository insurance limits.

 

Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with United States GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Revenue Recognition

 

The Partnership is bound by a joint operating agreement with the operator of each of its producing wells. Under the joint operating agreement, the Partnership’s proportionate share of production is marketed at the discretion of the operators. The Partnership typically satisfies its performance obligations upon transfer of control of its products and records the related revenue in the month production is delivered to the purchaser. As the Partnership does not operate its properties, it receives actual oil, natural gas, and NGL sales volumes and prices, net of costs incurred by the operators, two to three months after the date production is delivered by the operator. At the end of each month when the performance obligation is satisfied, the variable consideration can be reasonably estimated and amounts due from the Partnership’s operators are accrued in Accounts receivable in the consolidated balance sheets. Variances between the Partnership’s estimated revenue and actual payments are recorded in the month the payment is received; differences have been and are insignificant. As a result, the variable consideration is not constrained. The Partnership has elected to utilize the practical expedient in ASC 606 that states the Partnership is not required to disclose the transaction price allocated to remaining performance obligations if the variable consideration is allocated entirely to a wholly unsatisfied performance obligation. Each delivery of product represents a separate performance obligation; therefore, future volumes are wholly unsatisfied, and disclosure of the transaction price allocated to remaining performance obligations is not required.

 

7

Virtually all of the Partnership’s contracts’ pricing provisions are tied to a market index, with certain adjustments based on, among other factors, whether a well delivers to a gathering or transmission line, quality of oil, natural gas and natural gas liquids and prevailing supply and demand conditions, so that prices fluctuate to remain competitive with other available suppliers.

 

Accounts Receivable and Concentration of Credit Risk

For the quarter ended June 30, 2023, the Partnership’s oil, natural gas and NGL sales were through two operators. Substantially all the Partnership’s accounts receivable is due from Chord, the largest operator of the Sanish Field Assets (operators have accounts receivable from purchasers of oil, natural gas and NGLs). Oil, natural gas and NGL sales receivables are generally unsecured. This industry and location concentration has the potential to impact the Partnership’s overall exposure to credit risk, in that the purchasers of the Partnership’s oil, natural gas and NGLs and the operators of the properties the Partnership has an interest in may be similarly affected by changes in economic, industry or other conditions. At June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the Partnership did not reserve for bad debt expense, as all amounts are deemed collectible. Chord is the current operator of 99% of the Partnership’s producing properties. All oil and natural gas producing activities of the Partnership are in North Dakota and represent substantially all of the business activities of the Partnership.

Income Tax

The Partnership is taxed as a partnership for federal and state income tax purposes. Typically, the Partnership has not recorded a provision for income taxes since the liability for such taxes is that of each of the partners rather than the Partnership. In mid-2022, the Partnership was contacted by the state of North Dakota, which asserted that the Partnership has an obligation to make tax payments on behalf of certain non-resident partners. The Partnership reached a resolution with the state of North Dakota that entailed the Partnership making a payment of taxes on behalf of certain non-resident limited partners to the state for the tax years of 2021 and 2022. The Partnership made a payment of approximately $243,000 (approximately $0.013 per common unit) in May 2023 that settled the 2021 tax year. The Partnership anticipates that the estimate recorded at December 31, 2022 of approximately $315,000 for the 2022 tax year will be settled and paid in the fourth quarter of 2023. The Partnership’s income tax returns are subject to examination by the federal and state taxing authorities, and changes, if any, could adjust the individual income tax of the partners.

The Partnership has evaluated whether any material tax position taken will more likely than not be sustained upon examination by the appropriate taxing authority and believes that all such material tax positions taken are supportable by existing laws and related interpretations.

Net Income Per Common Unit

 

Basic net income per common unit is computed as net income divided by the weighted average number of common units outstanding during the period. Diluted net income per common unit is calculated after giving effect to all potential common units that were dilutive and outstanding for the period. There were no common units with a dilutive effect for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022.2023. As a result, basic and diluted outstanding common units were the same. The Class B units and Incentive Distribution Rights, as defined below, are not included in net income per common unit until such time that it is probable Payout (as discussed in Note 8) will occur.

 

Note 3. Oil and Natural Gas Investments

 

On December 18, 2015, the Partnership completed its first purchase in the Sanish field, acquiring an approximate 11% non-operated working interest in the Sanish Field Assets for approximately $159.6 million. On January 11, 2017, the Partnership closed on its second purchase in the Sanish field, acquiring an additional approximate 11% non-operated working interest in the Sanish Field Assets for approximately $128.5 million. On March 31, 2017, the Partnership closed on its third purchase in the Sanish field, acquiring an additional approximate average 10.5% non-operated working interest in 82 of the Partnership’s then 216 existing producing wells and 150 of the Partnership’s then 253 future development locations in the Sanish Field Assets for approximately $52.4 million.

 

Since the beginning of 2018, the Partnership has elected to participate in the drilling and completion of 8486 new wells in the Sanish field. NaN (56)field, of these 84 wellswhich 82 have been completed and were producing at June 30, 2022. The Partnership has 27 wells that are in-process as of June 30, 2022 and expects 1 additional well to commence drilling during the third quarter of 2022.2023. In total, the Partnership’s estimated share of capital expenditures for the drilling and completion of these 8486 wells is approximately $108$119 million, of which approximately $95$118 million was incurred as of June 30, 2022.2023.

The Partnership estimates the approximate $10$1 to $20$2 million in capital expenditures to fully pay for its recently-completedrecently completed wells along with the remaining 28four (4) wells in various stages of drilling and completion will be incurred through the remainderthird quarter of 20222023 based on the best available information regarding current capital investment plans from its operators. However, many factors outside the Partnership’s control make it difficult to predict the amount and timing of capital expenditures, and estimated capital expenditures could be significantly different from amounts actually invested.

Note 4. Debt

 

Revolving Credit FacilitiesFacility

 

In November 2017, the Partnership, as the borrower, entered into a loan agreement (the “Simmons Loan Agreement”) between and among the Partnership and Simmons Bank, as administrative agent and the lenders party thereto. Through various amendments, the Simmons Loan Agreement provided for a revolving credit facility (“Simmons Credit Facility”) with a commitment amount of $40 million, subject to borrowing base restrictions, that was to mature on July 31, 2021. The Simmons Credit Facility had an interest rate of 4.25% and outstanding borrowings of $40 million as of May 13, 2021.

On May 13, 2021, the Partnership and its wholly-owned subsidiary, as borrowers, entered into a loan agreement (“BF Loan Agreement”) with BancFirst, as administrative agent for the lenders (the “Lender”), which provides for a revolving credit facility (“BF Credit Facility”) with an approved maximum credit amount (“Maximum Credit Amount”) of $60 million, subject to borrowing base restrictions. The Partnership paid an origination fee of 0.50% of the Maximum Credit Amount, or $300,000, and is subject to an additional fee of 0.25% on any incremental increase to the borrowing base. Total capitalized loan costs were approximately $0.4 million and are being amortized over the life of the BF Credit Facility. Approximately $0.1 million$95,000 of the deferred loan costs remain unamortized as of June 30, 2023; these costs are recorded asincluded in Other current assets, net and the other approximate $0.1 million in deferred loan costs are recorded as Other assets on the Partnership’s consolidated balance sheet as of June 30, 2022.sheet. The Partnership also is required to pay an annual fee to the Lender of $30,000, and an unused facility fee of 0.25% on the unused portion of the Revolving Credit Facility, based on borrowings outstanding during a quarter. The maturity date is March 1, 2024.

 

At closing, the Partnership borrowed approximately $40 million. The proceeds were used to pay the $40 million outstanding balance and accrued interest on the Simmons Credit Facility described above.Partnership’s previous credit facility. Any further advances under the BF Credit Facility are to be used to fund capital expenditures for the development of the Partnership’s undrilled acreage. Under the terms of the BF Loan Agreement, the Partnership may make voluntary prepayments, in whole or in part, at any time with no penalty. The BF Credit Facility is secured by a mortgage and first lien position on at least 90% of the Partnership’s producing wells.

 

Under the BF Loan Agreement, the initial borrowing base was $60 million. The Partnership’s borrowing base is reduced by a Monthly Commitment Reduction, which is currently stipulated to be $1 million. Therefore, as of June 30, 2022, the borrowing base was $47 million. The borrowing base and Monthly Commitment Reduction are subject to redetermination semi-annually, on March 1 and September 1, based upon the Lender’s analysis of the Partnership’s proven oil and natural gas reserves. TheIn conjunction with the Lender’s March 1, 2023 redetermination analysis, the Partnership and Lender did not make adjustmentsagreed to amend the Partnership’sBF Loan Agreement, which included establishing a fixed borrowing base orof $30 million and eliminating the Monthly Commitment Reduction provision based on its March 1, 2022 redetermination analysis.Reduction. The Lender is also permitted to cause the borrowing base to be redetermined up to two times during a 12-month period. Outstanding borrowings under the BF Credit Facility cannot exceed the lesser of the borrowing base or the Maximum Credit Amount at any time. The interest rate is equal to the Wall Street Journal Prime Rate plus 0.50%, with a floor of 4.00%.

 

Also, the BF Loan Agreement requires the Partnership to maintain a risk management program to manage the commodity price risk of the Partnership’s future oil and gas production under certain conditions. As amended in MarchAugust 2022, the BF Loan Agreement no longer requires the Partnership is not required to enter into future hedging transactions as long as the Partnership maintains a BF Credit Facility utilization rate of less than or equal to 35%20% of the current borrowing base onPartnership’s PV-9 (defined as the BF Credit Facility. As of June 30, 2022,net present value, discounted at 9% per annum), as calculated by the Partnership was not subject to any additional hedging requirements as its utilization rate was less than or equal to 35% ofLender during the current borrowing base.Lender’s scheduled semi-annual redeterminations described above. However, the Partnership must hedge at least 50% of its rolling 12-month projected future production if the Partnership’s utilization of the RevolvingBF Credit Facility is greater than 35%20% but less than 50%or equal to 30% of the current borrowing base,PV-9, and at least 50% of its rolling 24-month projected future production if the Partnership’s utilization of the Revolving Credit Facility is greater than 50%30% of PV-9. Based on the Partnership’s utilization of the BF Credit Facility and Lender’s current borrowing base.calculation of PV-9, the Partnership was not subject to any additional hedging requirements under the amended BF Loan Agreement as of June 30, 2023.

 

See Note 7. Risk Management for more information on the Partnership’s risk management program as required under the BF Loan Agreement.

 

The BF Credit Facility contains prepayment requirements, customary affirmative and negative covenants and events of default. Certain of the financial covenants include:

 

 

A minimum ratio of trailing 12-month EBITDAX to debt service coverage of 1.20 to 1.00

 

A minimum ratio of current assets to current liabilities of 1.00 to 1.00 (“Current Ratio”)

 

9

 

The BF Loan Agreement does restrict the Partnership’s ability to pay limited partner distributions if the outstanding balance of the BF Credit Facility is greater than 50% of the lesser of (i) the Maximum Credit Amount or (ii) the current borrowing base. If the Partnership maintains a credit facility utilization of equal to or less than 50%,As amended in March 2023, the Partnership is permitted to make distributions to its limited partners so long as the Partnership is in compliance with its debt service coverage ratio and no other event of default has occurred. As of June 30, 2022,The March 2023 amendment to the Partnership was not subjectBF Loan Agreement eliminated the restriction on the Partnership’s ability to this restriction, as (i)pay limited partner distributions if the outstanding balance of the BF Credit Facility was lessgreater than 50% of the lesser of (i) the Maximum Credit Amount or (ii) the current borrowing base and (ii)base. As amended in June 2023, beginning with the quarter ended June 30, 2023, the Partnership wasis permitted to exclude all loans outstanding under the BF Loan Agreement (i.e., the “BF Credit Facility”) in compliance with its debt service coverage ratio.total current liabilities when calculating the Current Ratio.

 

At June 30, 2022,2023, the outstanding balance on the BF Credit Facility was approximately $16.0$8.0 million, and the interest rate was 5.25%8.75%. The Partnership was in compliance with its applicableall covenants atas of June 30, 2022.2023.

 

At June 30, 20222023 and December 31, 2021,2022, the outstanding balancebalances on the BF Credit Facility wasof approximately $16.0$8.0 million and $23.0$22.6 million, respectively, which approximated the fair market value of the BF Credit Facility. The Partnership estimated the fair value of its credit facility by discounting the future cash flows of the instrument at estimated market rates consistent with the maturity of a debt obligation with similar credit terms and credit characteristics, which are Level 3 inputs under the fair value hierarchy. Market rates take into consideration general market conditions and maturity.

 

Note 5. Asset Retirement Obligations

 

The Partnership records an asset retirement obligation (“ARO”) and capitalizes the asset retirement costs in oil and natural gas properties in the period in which the asset retirement obligation is incurred based upon the fair value of an obligation to perform site reclamation, dismantle facilities or plug and abandon wells. After recording these amounts, the ARO is accreted to its future estimated value using an assumed cost of funds and the additional capitalized costs are depreciated on a unit-of-production basis. Inherent in the present value calculation are numerous assumptions and judgments including the ultimate settlement amounts, inflation factors, credit adjusted discount rates, timing of settlement and changes in the legal, regulatory, environmental and political environments. To the extent future revisions of these assumptions impact the present value of the existing asset retirement obligation, a corresponding adjustment is made to the oil and natural gas property balance. The changes in the aggregate ARO are as follows:

Note 6. Fair Value of Financial Instruments

 

The Partnership follows authoritative guidance related to fair value measurement and disclosure, which establishes a three-level valuation hierarchy for disclosure of fair value measurements. The valuation hierarchy categorizes assets and liabilities measured at fair value into one of three different levels depending on the observability of the inputs employed in the measurement using market participant assumptions at the measurement date. Categorization within the valuation hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The three levels are defined as follows:

 

Level 1: Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets

 

Level 2: Significant other observable inputs – inputs to the valuation methodology include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the financial instrument

 

Level 3: Significant unobservable inputs

 

The Partnership’s assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement in its entirety requires judgment and the consideration of factors specific to the asset or liability. The Partnership’s policy is to recognize transfers in or out of a fair value hierarchy as of the end of the reporting period for which the event or change in circumstances caused the transfer. The Partnership has consistently applied the valuation techniques discussed above for all periods presented. During the three and six months ended June 30, 20222023 and 2021,2022, there were no transfers in or out of Level 1, Level 2, or Level 3 assets and liabilities measured on a recurring basis.

As required, financial assets and liabilities are classified in their entirety based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The following table sets forth by level within the fair value hierarchy the Partnership’s financial assets and liabilities that were accounted for at fair value on a recurring basis as of June 30, 20222023 and December 31, 2021.2022.

The Level 2 instruments presented in the table above consist of Partnership’s costless collar commodity derivative instruments. The fair value of the Partnership’s derivative financial instruments is determined based upon future prices, volatility and time to maturity, among other things. Counterparty statements are utilized to determine the value of the commodity derivative instruments and are reviewed and corroboratedthings, using various methodologies and significant observable inputs. The fair value of the commodity derivatives noted above are included in the Partnership’s consolidated balance sheet at June 30, 20222023 and December 31, 2021.2022. See additional detail in Note 7. Risk Management.

 

Fair Value of Other Financial Instruments

 

The carrying value of the Partnership’s other financial instruments, including cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, reflect these items’ cost, which approximates fair value based on the timing of the anticipated cash flows, current market conditions and short-term maturity of these instruments.

 

Note 7. Risk Management

 

Participation in the oil and gas industry exposes the Partnership to risks associated with potentially volatile changes in energy commodity prices, and therefore, the Partnership’s future earnings are subject to these risks. Therefore, the Partnership periodically utilizes derivative contracts to manage the commodity price risk on the Partnership’s future oil production it will produce and sell and to reduce the effect of volatility in commodity price changes to provide a base level of cash flow from operations.

 

In accordance with the amended Simmons Loan Agreement discussed in Note 4. Debt, the Partnership was required to maintain a risk management program to manage the commodity price risk on the Partnership’s future oil and natural gas production for the period from August 2020 through February 2021. In July 2021, the Partnership began its risk management program required under the BF Loan Agreement (see Note 4. Debt) by entering into costless collar derivative contracts for the period from July 2021 to September 2023. The Partnership generally uses costless collar derivative contracts, which establish floor and ceiling prices on future anticipated production. The Partnership did not pay or receive a premium related to the costless collars into which it entered to remain compliant with each loan agreement, and the contracts will be settled monthly.

 

As of June 30, 20222023 and December 31, 2021,2022, the Partnership’s derivative instruments were in a loss position. The Partnership recognized total liabilitiesa current Derivative liability of approximately $10.7$0.5 million and $2.4$3.2 million respectively, of which $8.9 million and $1.3 million, respectively, has been recorded as current in Derivative liability and $1.9 million and $1.1 million, respectively, has been recorded as Derivative liability – noncurrent on the Partnership’s consolidated balance sheets.

 

11

 

The Partnership did not designate its derivative instruments as hedges for accounting purposes and did not enter into such instruments for speculative trading purposes. As a result, when derivatives do not qualify or are not designated as a hedge, the changes in the fair value are recognized on the Partnership’s consolidated statements of operations as a gain or loss on derivative instruments. The following table presents the settlement losses of matured derivative instruments and non-cash mark-to-market gains (losses) for the periods presented.

The Partnership’s outstanding derivative instruments are covered by International Swap Dealers Association Master Agreements (“ISDA”) entered into with the counterparty. The ISDA may provide that as a result of certain circumstances, such as cross-defaults, a counterparty may require all outstanding derivative instruments under an ISDA to be settled immediately. The Partnership has netting arrangements with its counterparties that provide for offsetting payables against receivables from separate derivative instruments. The use of derivative instruments involves the risk that the Partnership’s counterparty will be unable to meet the financial terms of such instruments.

 

Note 8. Capital Contribution and Partners Equity

 

At inception, the General Partner and organizational limited partner made initial capital contributions totaling $1,000 to the Partnership. Upon closing of the minimum offering, the organizational limited partner withdrew its initial capital contribution of $990, and the General Partner received Incentive Distribution Rights (defined below).

 

The Partnership completed its best-efforts offering of common units on April 24, 2017. As of the conclusion of the offering on April 24, 2017, the Partnership had completed the sale of approximately 19.0 million common units for total gross proceeds of $374.2 million and proceeds net of offering costs of $349.6 million.

 

Under the agreement with David Lerner Associates, Inc. (the “Dealer Manager”), the Dealer Manager received a total of 6% in selling commissions and a marketing expense allowance based on gross proceeds of the common units sold. The Dealer Manager will also be paid a contingent incentive fee, which is a cash payment of up to an amount equal to 4% of gross proceeds of the common units sold based on the performance of the Partnership. Based on the common units sold through the best-efforts offering, the total contingent fee is a maximum of approximately $15.0 million.

 

Prior to “Payout,” which is defined below, all of the distributions made by the Partnership, if any, will be paid to the holders of common units. Accordingly, the Partnership will not make any distributions with respect to the Incentive Distribution Rights or with respect to Class B units and will not make the contingent incentive payments to the Dealer Manager, until Payout occurs.

 

12

The Partnership Agreement provides that Payout occurs on the day when the aggregate amount distributed with respect to each of the common units equals $20.00 plus the Payout Accrual. The Partnership Agreement defines “Payout Accrual” as 7% per annum simple interest accrued monthly until paid on the Net Investment Amount outstanding from time to time. The Partnership Agreement defines Net Investment Amount initially as $20.00 per unit, regardless of the amount paid for the unit. If at any time the Partnership distributes to holders of common units more than the Payout Accrual, the amount the Partnership distributes in excess of the Payout Accrual will reduce the Net Investment Amount.

 

12

All distributions made by the Partnership after Payout, which may include all or a portion of the proceeds of the sale of all or substantially all of the Partnership’s assets, will be made as follows:

 

First, (i) to the Record Holders of the Incentive Distribution Rights, 35%; (ii) to the Record Holders of the Outstanding Class B units, pro rata based on the number of Class B units owned, 35% multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of Class B units outstanding and the denominator of which is 100,000 (currently, there are 62,500 Class B units outstanding; therefore, Class B units could receive 21.875%); (iii) to the Dealer Manager, as the Dealer Manager contingent incentive fee paid under the Dealer Manager Agreement, 30%, and (iv) the remaining amount, if any (currently 13.125%), to the Record Holders of outstanding common units, pro rata based on their percentage interest until such time as the Dealer Manager receives the full amount of the Dealer Manager contingent incentive fee under the Dealer Manager Agreement;

 

Thereafter, (i) to the Record Holders of the Incentive Distribution Rights, 35%; (ii) to the Record Holders of the Outstanding Class B units, pro rata based on the number of Class B units owned, 35% multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of Class B units outstanding and the denominator of which is 100,000 (currently, there are 62,500 Class B units outstanding; therefore, Class B units could receive 21.875%); (iii) the remaining amount to the Record Holders of outstanding common units, pro rata based on their percentage interest (currently 43.125%).

 

All items of income, gain, loss and deduction will be allocated to each Partner’s capital account in a manner generally consistent with the distribution procedures outlined above.

 

In March 2020,For the General Partner approved the suspension of distributions to limited partners ofthree and six months ended June 30, 2023, the Partnership paid distributions of $0.350000 and $0.725753 per common unit, or $6.6 million and $13.8 million, respectively. In addition, the Partnership declared a monthly cash distribution to its holders of common units of $0.12 per common unit for the month of June 2023. The declared distribution of approximately $2.3 million, which is included in response to market volatility caused by the onset of the COVID-19 pandemicAccounts payable and the impactaccrued expenses on the Partnership’s operating cash flows. Further,balance sheet as of June 30, 2023, was paid on July 6, 2023 to the Partnership was restricted in making distributions to limited partners under the Simmons Loan Agreement and BF Loan Agreement (both described above) until certain conditions within those credit agreements had been met. In November 2021, the Partnership successfully met the required conditions under the BF Loan Agreement to resume distributions to limited partners. Subsequently, the General Partner approved a partial distribution in November 2021 and has paid full monthly distributions in December 2021 throughcommon unit holders on record as of June 2022. 30, 2023.

The Partnership accumulates unpaid distributions based on an annualized return of seven percent (7%), and all accumulated unpaid distributions are required to be paid before final Payout occurs, as defined above. As described in Income Tax in Note 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, in May 2023, the Partnership paid a withholding tax of approximately $0.012830 per common unit to the state of North Dakota on behalf of its limited partners related to tax year 2021. The payment of this withholding tax reduced the total unpaid Payout Accrual. Therefore, as of June 30, 2022,2023, the unpaid Payout Accrual, for the period from March 2020 through November 2021, totaled $2.387671$2.374841 per common unit, or approximately $45 million.

Overview

 

The Partnership was formed as a Delaware limited partnership. The general partner is Energy 11 GP, LLC (the “General Partner”). The initial capitalization of the Partnership of $1,000 occurred on July 9, 2013. The Partnership began offering common units of limited partner interest (the “common units”) on a best-efforts basis on January 22, 2015, the date the Partnership’s initial Registration Statement on Form S-1 (File No. 333-197476) was declared effective by the SEC. The Partnership completed its best-efforts offering on April 24, 2017. Total common units sold were approximately 19.0 million for gross proceeds of $374.2 million and proceeds net of offering costs of $349.6 million.

 

The Partnership has no officers, directors or employees. Instead, the General Partner manages the day-to-day affairs of the Partnership. All decisions regarding the management of the Partnership made by the General Partner are made by the Board of Directors of the General Partner and its officers.

 

The Partnership was formed to acquire and develop oil and gas properties located onshore in the United States. On December 18, 2015, the Partnership completed its first purchase in the Sanish field, acquiring an approximate 11% non-operated working interest in the Sanish Field Assets for approximately $159.6 million. On January 11, 2017, the Partnership closed on its second purchase in the Sanish field, acquiring an additional approximate 11% non-operated working interest in the Sanish Field Assets for approximately $128.5 million. On March 31, 2017, the Partnership closed on its third purchase in the Sanish field, acquiring an additional approximate average 10.5% non-operated working interest in 82 of the Partnership’s then 216 existing producing wells and 150 of the Partnership’s then 253 future development locations in the Sanish Field Assets for approximately $52.4 million.

 

Since the beginning of 2018, the Partnership has elected to participate in the drilling and completion of 8486 new wells in the Sanish field, under a drilling program administered primarily by Whiting Petroleum Corporation (“Whiting”). Fifty-six (56) of these 84 wellswhich 82 have been completed and were producing atas of June 30, 2022.2023. The Partnership has 27four (4) wells that are in-process as of June 30, 2022 and expects one additional well2023 that are anticipated to commence drilling inbe completed during the third quarter of 2022.2023. In total, the Partnership’s estimated share of capital expenditures for the drilling and completion of these 8486 wells is approximately $108$119 million, of which approximately $95$118 million had been incurred as of June 30, 2022.2023. See additional detail in “Oil and Natural Gas Properties” below.

 

As a result of its acquisitions and completed drilling during the period of ownership, as of June 30, 2022,2023, the Partnership owned an approximate 25%24% non-operated working interest in 269295 producing wells, an estimated approximate 21%14% non-operated working interest in 27four wells in various stages of the drilling and completion process and future development sites in the Sanish field located in Mountrail County, North Dakota (collectively, the “Sanish Field Assets”).

Chord Energy Corporation (“Chord”, NASDAQ: CHRD), the product of a merger between Whiting Petroleum Corporation and Oasis Petroleum Inc. (“Oasis”), twois one of the largest producers in the Williston basin of North Dakota, operatedand operates substantially all of the Sanish Field Assets through June 30, 2022. On July 1, 2022, Chord Energy Corporation (“Chord”, NASDAQ: CHRD) announced the successful completion of the combination of Whiting and Oasis. The Partnership anticipates minimal disruption to its normal course business as a result of this transaction, and Chord will continue to administer the ongoing drilling program described above.Assets.

 

Current Price Environment

 

Oil, natural gas and natural gas liquids prices are determined by many factors outside of the Partnership’s control. Historically, world-wide oil and natural gas prices and markets have been subject to significant change and may continue to be in the future. Global macroeconomic factors contributing to uncertainty within the industry include real or perceived geopolitical risks in oil-producing regions of the world, particularly in Russia and the Middle East; forecasted levels of global economic growth combined with forecasted global supply; supply levels of oil and natural gas due to exploration and development activities in the United States; environmental and climate change regulation; actions taken by the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries (“OPEC”); and the strength of the U.S. dollar in international currency markets.

 

The outbreak of a novel coronavirus (“COVID-19”) in China in December 2019 significantly impactedCommodity prices strengthened throughout 2021, primarily driven by increased demand resulting from the global economy throughout 2020,initial recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic and the domestic oil and gas industry was especially impacted as demand for oil, natural gas and other hydrocarbons substantially declined, beginning in March and April 2020. As government-mandated COVID-19 restrictions eased during the fourth quarter of 2020 and into 2021, demand for oil and natural gas returned. Productionproduction restraint by domestic and foreign operators in 2021, in conjunction with higher worldwide demand during the prolonged recovery from COVID-19, contributed to higher commodity prices throughout 2021.operators. The ongoing military conflict between Russia and Ukraine and related economic sanctions imposed on Russia hasalong with additional production growth by OPEC further exacerbated supply shortages, causing oil prices to increase even morepeak at over $120 per barrel during the second quarter of 2022. Commodity prices have fallen from the June 2022 peak through the second quarter of 2023 due to several factors including, but not limited to, softening global and domestic demand on recession fears as well as higher than anticipated domestic and Russian oil supply. As a result, oil prices have predominantly ranged between $70 and $80 per barrel during 2023. A mild winter and ample supply have driven natural gas prices down during the first half of 2022.2023.

Based on average NYMEX futures closing prices (oil) and NYMEX/Henry Hub spot prices (natural gas)

 

The Partnership’s revenues and cash flow from operations are highly sensitive to changes in oil and natural gas prices and to levels of production. If commodity prices significantly drop, such as the decline in the second quarter of 2020, and remain low, the Partnership will see a reduction in available capital for the development of its undrilled wellsites. Future growth is dependent on the Partnership’s ability to add reserves in excess of production. In addition to commodity price fluctuations, the Partnership faces the challenge of natural production volume declines. As reservoirs are depleted, oil and natural gas production from Partnership wells will decrease.

 

Results of Operations

 

In evaluating financial condition and operating performance, the most important indicators on which the Partnership focuses are (1) total quarterly sold production in barrel of oil equivalent (“BOE”) units, (2) average sales price per unit for oil, natural gas and natural gas liquids (“NGL” or “NGLs”), (3) production costs per BOE and (4) capital expenditures.

The Partnership’s results for the three and six months ended June 30, 20222023 were positively impacted by the significantcompletion of thirteen (13) new wells that were turned to sales during the fourth quarter of 2022, in comparison to the three and six months ended June 30, 2022. The Partnership owns an approximate 17% in these 13 wells. The completion of these new wells provided an increase to second quarter and first half of 2023 production, with sold production for the Sanish Field Assets approximating 4,700 BOE per day and 4,800 BOE per day for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023. Sold production was approximately 3,000 BOE per day and 3,100 BOE per day for three and six months ended June 30, 2022.

The increase in sold production volumes were offset by decreases in market prices of oil and natural gas when compared to the same periods of 2021. In addition,2022, of which the Partnership continues to benefit fromfactors for the easing ofreduction in market imbalances and supply chain constraints that developed during the spring and summer of 2020 due to COVID-19, realized through reduced differentials (see below).prices were discussed in Current Price Environment above. The Partnership’s realized sales prices for NGLs are influenced by the components extracted, including ethane, propane and butane and natural gasoline, among others, and the respective market pricing for each component.

The Partnership has completed 50 new wells since the fourth quarter of 2019, of which 28 were completed and turned to sales during the second quarter of 2021 through the second quarter of 2022. Sold production volumes were flat when comparing the three-month periods ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, as production from newly-completed wells effectively offset natural production declines. In addition to natural production decline, the Williston Basin in North Dakota was hit with a late-season snowstorm that resulted in significant downtime for producing wells during April 2022, which negatively impacted production volumes during the second quarter of 2022. As the wells currently in various stages of the drilling and completion process as of June 30, 2022 are completed, the Partnership anticipates its sold production volumes will increase during the third and fourth quarters of 2022. Sold production for the Sanish Field Assets was approximately 3,000 BOE and 3,400 BOE per day for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively, while sold production for the Sanish Field Assets was approximately 3,100 BOE per day for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021.

 

If the operators of the Sanish Field Assets are unable to produce, process and sell oil and natural gas at economical prices, these operators may curtail daily production, shut-in producing wells or seek other cost-cutting measures, and could continue so long as producing is uneconomical. Consequently, any of these measures could significantly impact the Partnership’s oil, natural gas and NGL production. Further, production is dependent on the investment in existing wells and the development of new wells. See further discussion of the Partnership’s investment in new wells in “Liquidity and Capital Resources” below.

 

Oil differentials

 

The realized prices per barrel of oil above are based upon the NYMEX benchmark price less a cost to distribute the oil, or the differential. Oil price differentials primarily represent the transportation costs in moving produced oil at the wellhead to a refinery and are based on the availability of pipeline, rail and other transportation methods out of the Sanish field. Oil price differentials to the NYMEX benchmark price vary by operator based upon operator-specific contracts. Due to improvement in commodity prices and market-specific conditions in the Bakken, oil price differentials were approximately 50-60% less during the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 than those of the same periods of 2021, respectively.

In July 2020, the U.S. District Court for D.C. (“D.C. District Court”) ruled that theThe Dakota Access Pipeline is a significant pipeline that transports oil and natural gas from North Dakota fields, must suspend operations due to inadequate environmental review previously performedfields. Its use by operators in the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. In August 2020, the ruling was stayed on appeal by the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit (“D.C. Appellate Court”), allowing the pipeline to operate until a further ruling was made. In January 2021, the D.C. Appellate Court affirmed the D.C. District Court’s decision. Further,region is currently in May 2021, the D.C. District Court denied an injunction that would have required a shutdown of the Dakota Access Pipeline while the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers completes its comprehensive environmental review. In June 2021, the D.C. District Court dismissed the existing claims against the Dakota Access Pipeline and its operators, but stated the plaintiffs could renew challenges against the pipeline after the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers releases its environmental review report. In February 2022,ongoing litigation in the United States Supreme Court declined to take a case brought by the Dakota Access Pipeline operators that challenged the requirement of an updated environmental review as upheld by lower courts. The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers report is anticipated to be issued in the fall of 2022.States. If use of the Dakota Access Pipeline or any other region pipelines is suspended at a future date, the disruption of transporting the Partnership’s production out of North Dakota could negatively impact the Partnership’s oil differentials, realized sales prices, results of operations and/or cash flows.

Operating costs and expenses

 

Production expenses

 

Production expenses are daily costs incurred by the Partnership to bring oil and natural gas out of the ground and to market, along with the daily costs incurred to maintain producing properties. Such costs include field personnel compensation, saltwater disposal, utilities, maintenance, repairs and servicing expenses related to the Partnership’s oil and natural gas properties, along with the gathering and processing contract in effect for the extraction, transportation, treatment and marketing of oil and natural gas.

 

For the three months ended June 30, 20222023 and 2021,2022, production expenses were $3.8$7.5 million and $2.9$3.8 million, respectively, and production expenses per BOE of sold production were $13.60$17.38 and $10.16,$13.60, respectively. For the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, production expenses were $8.4$14.2 million and $5.5$8.4 million, respectively, and production expenses per BOE of sold production were $16.19 and $13.80, and $9.72, respectively. ProductionThe rise in production expenses per BOE increasedis the result of the following: (1) higher gathering and processing expenses tied to oil production in the threefirst half of 2023; (2) downward pressure on natural gas prices as well as adjustments to operator contracts resulted in additional marketing and six months ended June 30, 2022, in comparisonselling costs to sell the same periodPartnership’s natural gas and NGLs during the second quarter of 2021, as a result of (i)2023; and (3) an increase in lease operating and workover expenses as certain of the Partnership’s existingnewest producing wells have required additionalscheduled maintenance and/or rework to either maintainafter reaching certain minimum production efficiency or return to full production, and (ii) an increase in total gathering, processing and selling costs associated with the increased sale of the Partnership’s natural gas and NGL production. The production costs specific to the processing, treating and marketing of natural gas and NGLs are higher than those associated with oil, so an increase in sold natural gas and NGLs (in proportion to total sold volumes) results in a greater increase in thesethresholds. Lingering inflation also has kept production expenses per BOE than the corresponding increase in production expenses for new oil production.elevated when compared to prior periods.

 

Production taxes

 

Taxes on the production and extraction of oil and gas are regulated and set by North Dakota tax authorities. Taxes on the sale of gas and NGL products are less than taxes levied on the sale of oil. Therefore, production taxes as a percentage of revenue may fluctuate dependent upon the ratio of sales of natural gas and NGLs to total sales. Production taxes for the three months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022 and 2021 were $1.8$1.9 million (8% of revenue) and $1.1$1.8 million (8% of revenue), respectively. Production taxes for the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022 and 2021 were $3.8$4.1 million (8% of revenue) and $2.1$3.8 million (8% of revenue), respectively.

 

General and administrative expenses

 

The principal components of general and administrative expense are accounting, legal and consulting fees. General and administrative expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022 and 2021 were $0.5$0.3 million and $0.3$0.5 million, respectively. General and administrative expenses for the six months ended June 30, 20222023 and 20212022 were $1.1 million and $0.8 million, respectively.in both periods.

Depreciation, depletion, amortization and accretion (DD&A)

 

DD&A of capitalized drilling and development costs of producing oil, natural gas and NGL properties are computed using the unit-of-production method on a field basis based on total estimated proved developed oil, natural gas and NGL reserves. Costs of acquiring proved properties are depleted using the unit-of-production method on a field basis based on total estimated proved developed and undeveloped reserves. DD&A for the three months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022 and 2021 was $3.6$6.9 million and $5.0$3.6 million, and DD&A per BOE of sold production was $13.14$15.94 and $17.54,$13.14, respectively. DD&A for the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022 and 2021 was $9.1$13.5 million and $9.8$9.1 million, and DD&A per BOE of sold production was $15.36 and $14.86, and $17.33, respectively.

The decreaseincrease in DD&A expense per BOE of production in the first halfsecond quarter of 20222023 is primarily due to the increasedecrease of the Partnership’s estimated proved undeveloped reserves during the most recent reserves analyses (as of December 31, 2021 and June 30, 2022)2023) resulting from changes in the future drill schedule.to well production forecasts.

 

LossGain (loss) on derivatives, net

 

Participation in the oil and gas industry exposes the Partnership to risks associated with potentially volatile changes in energy commodity prices, and therefore, the Partnership’s future earnings are subject to these risks. Periodically, the Partnership utilizes derivative contracts to manage the commodity price risk on the Partnership’s future oil production it will produce and sell and to reduce the effect of volatility in commodity price changes to provide a base level of cash flow from operations.

In accordance with the Partnership’s previous credit facility, the Partnership was required to maintain a risk management program to manage the commodity price risk on the Partnership’s future oil and natural gas production for the period from August 2020 through February 2021. In July 2021, the Partnership began its risk management program required under the BancFirst Loan Agreement by entering into costless collar derivative contracts for the period from July 2021 to September 2023.

The Partnership did not designate its 20212022 or 20222023 derivative instruments as hedges for accounting purposes and did not enter into such instruments for speculative trading purposes. As a result, when derivatives do not qualify or are not designated as a hedge, the changes in the fair value are recognized on the Partnership’s consolidated statements of operations as a gain or loss on derivative instruments. The following table presents settlements of its matured derivative instruments and the non-cash, mark-to-market gains or losses recorded during the periods presented.

Interest expense, net

 

Interest expense, net, for the three months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022 and 2021 was $0.2$0.3 million and $0.5$0.2 million, respectively. Interest expense, net, for the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022 was $0.8 million and 2021 was $0.5 million, and $1.0 million, respectively. The Partnership’s interest expense increased in the first half of 2023, compared to the first half of 2022, primarily due to an increase in interest rates. The primary component of Interest expense, net, during the three- and six-month periods ended June 30, 2022 wasis interest expense on the BancFirstBF Credit Facility. The primary component of Interest expense, net, during the three- and six-month periods ended June 30, 2021 was interest expense on the BancFirst Credit Facility, the Simmons Credit Facility (paid in full in May 2021) and a related-party term loan (paid in full in March 2021).

 

Supplemental Non-GAAP Measure

 

The Partnership uses “Adjusted EBITDAX”, defined as earnings before (i) interest expense, net; (ii) income taxes; (iii) depreciation, depletion, amortization and accretion; (iv) exploration expenses; and (v) (gain)/loss on the mark-to-market of derivative instruments, as a key supplemental measure of its operating performance. This non-GAAP financial measure should be considered along with, but not as alternatives to, net income, operating income, cash flow from operating activities or other measures of financial performance presented in accordance with GAAP. Adjusted EBITDAX is not necessarily indicative of funds available to fund the Partnership’s cash needs, including its ability to make cash distributions. Although Adjusted EBITDAX, as calculated by the Partnership, may not be comparable to Adjusted EBITDAX as reported by other companies that do not define such terms exactly as the Partnership defines such terms, the Partnership believes this supplemental measure is useful to investors when comparing the Partnership’s results between periods and with other energy companies.

 

The Partnership believes that the presentation of Adjusted EBITDAX is important to provide investors with additional information (i) to provide an important supplemental indicator of the operational performance of the Partnership’s business without regard to financing methods and capital structure, and (ii) to measure the operational performance of the Partnership’s operators.

 

The following table reconciles the Partnership’s GAAP net income to Adjusted EBITDAX for the three and six months ended June 30, 20222023 and 2021.2022.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

Historically, the Partnership’s principal sources of liquidity have been cash on hand, the cash flow generated from the Sanish Field Assets, and availability under the Partnership’s revolving credit facility, if any. As of July 31, 2023, the Partnership had approximately $1.3 million in cash-on-hand. The Partnership generated approximately $43.5$74.7 million in cash flow from operating activities for the year ended December 31, 20212022 and approximately $34.2$35.5 million in cash flow from operating activities for the six months ended June 30, 2022.2023. In May 2021,conjunction with BancFirst’s semi-annual borrowing base redetermination process completed in March 2023, the BF Loan Agreement was amended, of which changes included a reduction in the Partnership’s borrowing base to a fixed $30 million. The Partnership successfully refinancedhas approximately $23 million in availability under its existing Simmons Bank credit facility and usedat the initial closing proceedstime of approximately $40 million from the refinancing with BancFirst to fully repay the outstanding balance on the Simmons credit facility. From May 2021 through June 2022, the Partnership made principal payments on the BancFirst credit facilityfiling of approximately $24 million using excess cash flow from operations. As of June 30, 2022, the Partnership had approximately $20 million in accrued capital expenditures to its operators related to the drilling program discussed below in “Oil and Natural Gas Properties.” In addition to using cash flow from operations, the Partnership has borrowed approximately $7 million on the BancFirst credit facility during the third quarter of 2022 to pay its capital obligations as they become due under the drilling program.this Form 10-Q.

21

 

The Partnership anticipates its cash on-hand, cash flow from operations and availability under its BancFirst credit facilitythe BF Credit Facility will be adequate to meet its liquidity requirements for at least the next 12 months, including completing the outstanding capital expenditures discussed below. In addition, the March 2023 BF Loan Agreement amendment eliminated the Restricted Payment Clause within the loan agreement, whereby the Partnership met all conditions under the BancFirstmay now make distributions to limited partners regardless of BF Credit Facility to resume distributionsutilization so long as the Partnership is in November 2021. The Partnership’s ability to make future distributions to its limited partners is contingent on remaining compliantcompliance with allthe applicable covenants under its BancFirst credit facility as well as ensuring the outstanding balanceand no other event of the credit facility is at or below 50% of the Partnership’s current borrowing base. The Partnership can offer no assurance to the payment of distributions in future months; however,default has occurred. Therefore, the General Partner will monitor payment of future monthly Partnership distributions in conjunction with the Partnership’s projected cash requirements for operations, payments on the BancFirst credit facility and capital expenditures for new wells.

 

The Partnership’s revenues and cash flow from operations are highly sensitive to changes in oil and natural gas prices and to levels of production. If commodity prices significantly drop, such as the decline in the second quarter of 2020, and remain low, the Partnership’s cash flow from operations may decline. This could have a significant impact on the Partnership’s available cash on-hand, the Partnership’s ability to participate in future drilling programs as proposed by the operators of the Sanish Field Assets and/or to fund any future distributions to its limited partners. Future growth is dependent on the Partnership’s ability to add reserves in excess of production. In addition to commodity price fluctuations, the Partnership faces the challenge of natural production volume declines. As reservoirs are depleted, oil and natural gas production from Partnership wells will decrease.

 

Financing

Partners Equity

 

The Partnership completed its best-efforts offering of common units on April 24, 2017. As of the conclusion of the offering on April 24, 2017, the Partnership sold approximately 19.0 million common units for total gross proceeds of $374.2 million and proceeds net of offering costs of $349.6 million.

 

Under the agreement with the Dealer Manager, the Dealer Manager received a total of 6% in selling commissions and a marketing expense allowance based on gross proceeds of the common units sold. The Dealer Manager will also be paid a contingent incentive fee, which is a cash payment of up to an amount equal to 4% of gross proceeds of the common units sold based on the performance of the Partnership. Based on the common units sold in the offering, the total contingent fee is a maximum of approximately $15.0 million, which will only be paid if Payout occurs, as defined in “Note 8.

Oil and Natural Gas Properties

 

The Partnership incurred approximately $26.5$3.8 million and $13.3$26.5 million in capital expenditures for the six months ended June 30, 20222023 and 2021,2022, respectively.

 

Since the beginning of 2019, the Partnership has elected to participate in the drilling and completion of 7880 new wells in the Sanish field. Fifty (50)As of June 30, 2023, approximately 76 of these 7880 wells have been completed and were producing at June 30, 2022;producing; the Partnership has an approximate non-operated working interest of 20%21% in these 5076 wells. The Partnership has an estimated approximate non-operated working interest of 21%14% in 27four wells that are in-process as of June 30, 2022. The Partnership has an estimated approximate non-operated working interest of 19% in one additional well that had not commenced drilling as of June 30, 2022.2023. In total, the Partnership’s estimated share of capital expenditures for the drilling and completion of these 7880 wells is approximately $100$111 million, of which approximately $87$110 million was incurred as of June 30, 2022.2023.

The Partnership anticipates its operatorsoperator will complete the remaining 28four wells during the next three to nine months;second quarter of 2023; however, completion of the wells is not in the Partnership’s control. The Partnership estimates the majority of the approximate $10 to $20$1 million in capital expenditures to fully pay for its recently-completed wells along with the remaining 28four wells in various stages of the drilling and completion process will be incurred during the remainderthird quarter of 20222023 based on the best available information regarding current capital investment plans from its operators. Many factors outside the Partnership’s control make it difficult to predict the amount and timing of capital expenditures for the remainder of 20222023 and estimated capital expenditures could be significantly different from amounts actually invested. Because the Partnership’s operator is committed to drilling in the Sanish Field, the Partnership may be obligated to invest up to an additional $100 million in capital expenditures from 2023 through 2027 to participate in new well development in the Sanish Field without becoming subject to non-consent penalties under the joint operating agreements governing the Sanish Field Assets.

 

As described above, the Partnership’s liquidity is currently dependent upon cash on-hand, cash from operations and availability under the BancFirstBF Credit Facility. If the Partnership is not able to generate sufficient cash from operations or there is no availability under its credit facility to fund capital expenditures, it may not be able to complete its capital obligations presented by its operators or participate fully in future wells. If an operator elects to complete drilling or other significant capital expenditure activity and the Partnership is unable to fund the capital expenditures, the General Partner may decide to farmout the well. Also, if a well is proposed under the operating agreement for one of the properties the Partnership owns, the General Partner may elect to “non-consent” the well. Non-consenting a well will generally cause the Partnership not to be obligated to pay the costs of the well, but the Partnership will not be entitled to the proceeds of production from the well until a penalty is received by the parties that drilled the well.

 

Transactions with Related Parties

 

The Partnership has, and is expected to continue to engage in, significant transactions with related parties. These transactions cannot be construed to be at arm’s length and the results of the Partnership’s operations may be different than if conducted with non-related parties. The General Partner’s Board of Directors oversees and reviews the Partnership’s related party relationships and is required to approve any significant modifications to existing related party transactions, as well as any new significant related party transactions, including approving the new Affiliate Loan.
